Associated Press Dispatches to the HERALD
LONDON, June 9.-In the House of
Commons this afternoon VIM. II. Smith.
the government leader. gave notice that
tomorrow he would move that the COM
mittee name period at which they
would report the Irish Crimes Act
Amendment bill to the House. The
announcement was received with great
cheers and counter cheers.
Mr.. John Morley protested against 60
short notice. He hoped the govern
ment would postpone the making Of the
motion for another day. (Cries OF me
from the Ministerial benches)
Mr.. Smith said he felt sure that Mr.,
Morley must have expected that the
government would make such a pro-
posal. Opposition cries of mo, no. ~
Mr.. Smith then referred to his state
ment in the House on Tuesday, in
which he said that possibly it
would become his duty to take
measures to expedite the public busi-
ness. He said the government were
unable until to-day to finally decide on
what course to pursue. The terms of
his notice would be in the papers to-
night. He refused to name the period
be would ask the committee to tx for
the reporting of the bill.
Mr.. Smiths motion proposes that tie
Crimes bill be reported by the l7tn inst.
The Parnellites will oppose the motion
by every means in their power, alleging
that it is unprecedented.
After the rejection of several amend
ments to the poor clause (four) and
the application of the cloture rule, Bal
four moved that the section providing
for the removal of venue to London be
omitted from the bill (Parnellite cheers
He admitted there were strong objections
to this section. He said that as long as
the ends of the government would be
attained they would not show themselves
obstinate to the means by which the
ends could be reached. They thought
it wise and prudent to abandon that
clause in favor of one providing for trial
by commission of judges. (Cries of
"Oh! OH" and laughter.
Sir VIM. Vernon Harcourt declared
that the Government would be unable to
face the condemnation which the adopt
ion of the section would have brought
upon them. Smith arose to speak amid
Parnellite cries of ''cloture, oloture."
Before he finish his first sentence, Healy
moved that the question be put. Healy's
motion was agreed to amid loud cheers
and laughter. Balfour's motion was
then carried without division.
Smith then gave notice that at l0r.
NJ. of Friday, the 18th instant, he
would move the chairman to forthwith
put the question on any motion, amend
ment or proposal TO the clause then
under discussion, and on each re-
naming clause of the bill. Replying
to question by Sir Vernon Harcourt,
Smith said it was not proposed that the
motion should be carried by any particu-
lar majority like the rules of urgency.
Balfour announced that the provision
for the commission of judges would be
included in the second bill, which would
be introduced Immediately, embodying
new proposals of the government. Loud
laughter and ironical cheers
Sir VIM. Vernon Harcourt congratu-
lated the Government upon the new
method of saving time in the House CO.
ercion bill. No. 2 would probably be SO
ridiculous that it would require third
coercion bill to set it right
1t is probable that tomorrow or on
Monday the Parnellites will raise de.
bate on the evictions in Ireland. Glad
stone, Parnell and other leaners will
speak tomorrow on Smiths proposal.
II the debate should be protracted the
cloture rule will be applied.
